Where Can I Get Information on Patents?

You can get information on patents at the official site of the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Another place to find information on patents is Nolo.com's Law Center for Patents and Trade Secrets, and LawGuru’s FAQ on patents.

Many law firms that practice intellectual property law have extensive information on their Web sites for the subjects covered in their practice, including information on patents, trademarks, copyrights, and service marks and trade secrets. To find these law firms, you can search for intellectual property attorneys at Lawyers.com or conduct a search on Google and Yahoo! for "intellectual property attorneys."
